Yep, that is a USP of Taipei.

@Rumi *****************

I just got back from the Twipei embassy another soft power applicant was asked for a contract of employment. Taipei not as easy as before for any option

@Cameron **********

No, I did all mine in English. I gave Japanese company registration, employment contracts, employment certificates, bank statements with English translation I did myself via ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot.

@Cameron **********

Ok, I was gonna say I think it better to do it in person in Taipei. I have a feeling, Evisa is going to be a lot off back n forth with docs and questions and much longer to approve..

@Cameron **********

ok, you applying as a remote worker via your own business. I also get inconsistent income amounts on different dates, that is not the issue they really care about. Your bank statements should show income from the company you work for. Not having any income at start of business is fine, make sure you have registration docs, they love that. Are you applying in person in Taipei?

@Cameron **********

I work for a company on a contract basis. You have your own business and pay yourself a wage?

@Rumi *****************

I have heard someone was asked for a work contract in Taipei and also Malaysia when applying for Medical Soft Power. The reasons for rejection are not consistent as the DTV footnotes detail embassies can exercise their own discretion with applying the rules.

@Cameron **********

it is a business so they view it differently. You have income coming into the business so it is ok. They accepted 2 other contracts I have but be prepped for the "grilling".

@Cameron **********

Yeah,

Yes
